• Discarded chicken wings in the parking lot
• The Moana remake - and other thoughts about the theater e...

One of my all-time favorites - Dan Guevara - is back on the show!

The Austin-based singer-songwriter checked in to talk about "Her Country Song," his latest duet with Morgan Obenhaus - as well as the forthcoming single, "Don't Make Sense."

"Her Country Song" was a step outside the box for Dan. While most of his catalog leans on an Americana/folk-based sound, Dan composed a more traditional county song after being inspired by his own ...

It's TIME for the JUNE Bonus Episode!

As usual, Dan Time has been stretched thin. But I always try to pull everything to a halt to deliver at least ONE monthly episode! So, here you go...

We get serious for a moment as I cover the death of my dear animal and companion of over 12 years, Trudy. Hopefully, you can relate if you too have been through the difficult time of losing a pet.

And then for your enjoyment, or for my need to move t...

Here is PART II of my conversation with one of Nashville's rising talents, Dan Harrison!

We talk more about his music, his songwriting and professional opportunities - and how he balances it all while trying to focus on self care and time with friends & family.

Dan co-wrote the NEW Belles hit single "Son of Jolene," an imaginative sequel to Dolly Parton's 1974 classic "Jolene."

Making his first Dan Time appearance in over a year - JIM POWELL, ladies and gentlemen! Jim is back to discuss his AMAZING Kentucky Derby-winning bet on Golden Tempo! Jim and I have been friends longer than some of you have been alive. And if that's the case, now is the time to get to work on a long-lasting friendship of your own.

In this BONUS episode, I go after Dollar General once again; "excuse me" moments in stores; cat behavior; political mailers; poor acoustics and lighting in restaurants; youth baseball coaches and more!

At long last, we celebrate the career and impact of Dan Bankhead - long recognized as the first African-American pitcher to appear in Major League Baseball (which at the time excluded the Nego Leagues). In December 2020, MLB designated the Negro Leagues from 1920-1948 as Major League status.

Rory Costello from the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) has written extensively about Dan's career - and he joins me for this exc...

What is more precious to us than our TIME?

In this BONUS episode, I discuss the subject of TIME:

• How we use it
• How we understand (or misunderstand) it
• How it's discussed in conversation
• Why we seem to forget so much stuff
• What we can do to better cope with the past

Sound a little heavy for DAN TIME?? Don't worry, there are other (more important) subjects such as coffee container preferences, shopping cart rides, Goofy, why kids m...

"It doesn't take a trophy to be a champion"

If you didn't get enough DAN KOBYLKA in the first hour...

Here is the proper finale of our recent Danversation!!

Dan talks some more Challenger baseball stories; serving the needy in his community in Chatham; playing organized sports for people with organ transplants; his childhood memories of wrestling, long distance running and baseball; thoughts on online gambling; the state of heckling ...

Do you need a dose of encouragement?

DAN KOBYLKA is both the everyman, but an extraordinary man. He visits homeless encampments on a regular basis. He ministers to those on the margins of society — people who are struggling with addiction or mental illness. He eulogized an otherwise nameless drug overdose victim.

And Dan continues his mission to serve those who might otherwise be left behind. Ever since receiving his first hea...

Happy Holidays from Dan Time!! Back for a quick BONUS episode, a ramble-sode, if you will. Take a listen and consider the exponential changes in the way we go about our business in 2025 versus 25 years ago. Have you had some trouble "feeling" merry & bright this year? How has daily communication & media changed - and is it working for you or would you like to shrug off at least some of it??

A few things we did not have in ou...

Happy Halloween 2025! Listen to the rest (and perhaps the best part) of my conversation with Rob as we dive into Halloween memories, B-list horror titles, the evolution of trick-or-treating, haunted houses, yard decorations & plenty of belly laughs!!

Here's your postcard. It's time to check in from Dancation! As you may have noticed, Dan Time has been out of the office lately - "with limited access to phone and email." Is the show going away? What happened to your weekly episodes?? Have we SEEN all there is to see, HEARD all there is to hear in the Daniverse??
